Fiat M135: Agricultural Tractor Specifications

The Fiat M135 is a high-performance agricultural tractor produced between 1996 and 1999 as part of the M-series range. Designed for versatility and heavy-duty tasks, this 135 horsepower machine features a 6-cylinder liquid-cooled engine and offers both 2WD and optional 4WD configurations to suit various field requirements.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 7.5-liter 6-cylinder engine, designed for consistent power output during demanding fieldwork. It operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM, with a compression ratio of 17.5:1. The cooling system capacity is 24.0 liters for the ROPS model and 26.0 liters for the cab version, ensuring thermal stability under sustained loads.

Transmission Systems

The M135 provides multiple transmission configurations to optimize field performance. The Dual Command transmission offers 23 forward and 12 reverse gears, while the Range Command versions provide 17 or 18 forward speeds. All transmissions utilize wet disc clutches and allow for on-the-move gear shifting, with optional creeper ranges available to further refine speed control.

Hydraulics and Hitch

Equipped with a closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system, the M135 delivers a pump flow of 26 gpm (98.4 lpm) at a pressure of 2755 psi. The rear hitch, categorized as II/III, supports a lift capacity of 12,000 lbs (5443 kg) at 24 inches, enabling the operation of heavy implements. Independent 540/1000 RPM rear PTO is standard.

Mechanical and Dimensions

The chassis features hydrostatic power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes. The wheelbase measures 108.3 inches (275 cm) for the 2WD model, with various tread width adjustments available for both front and rear axles to accommodate different row spacings and stability needs.

Conclusion

"The Fiat M135 is a robust, multi-purpose tractor suitable for professional farming operations requiring significant pulling power and versatile hydraulic control. Its combination of multiple transmission choices and high lift capacity makes it an adaptable asset for diverse agricultural applications."
